Vintage keepsake box

Firstly I want to say a very big thankyou to Rebecca from "Scrapping on the edge" for her inspiration in doing this box. Bek had recently posted some photos of one of her projects and I just loved it and decided to give it a go...so thank you Bek.

The box is a flat pack "All purpose box from Kaisercraft.

I have use papers from my stash that I have had for years. My favourite is the vinatge labels paper from K&Co. lifes journey. I am not sure about some of the others I used as when I think about it have had in my collection for nearly 10 years.

I put a thick coat of Mod Podge over the top before applying all my other little bits and pieces.

I use a lot of Kaisercraft products especially BTP and often I have little off cuts left over....

these little off cuts and perfect to cover in tissue tape and the add an extra dimension to your project. I have also used them by adding a label to them. Everything is then covered in mod podge to protect it.

For the final touches I added some of the Tim Holtz feet.

I had so much fun completeing this project so I am considering making another one.

sorry yes there are grooves, I covered the inside of my box with paper so you cant see the grooves at all except for the little bit at the top, my apologies I had completely forgotten and the last 3 2 boxes I have done are the recipe box which has ver destint grooves in the bottom of the box. so sorry I don't think that Kaisercraft has any other sort of boxes apart from the large and small trinket boxes
